Featured Reenactor: CCC Living History at Maryland State Parks' Senior Rangers
Senior Rangers is a new program developed by Maryland Park Service Ranger Jamie Petrucci of Patapsco Valley State Park, now also extended to Seneca Creek State Park under the direction of Ranger Shelby Smith. It offers active adults 55 and over an opportunity to explore the natural, cultural, historical and recreational opportunities of Maryland's parks through weekly explorations guided by Maryland Rangers and other DNR staff.

Featured Reenactor: Civilian Conservation Corps Company 1860 (Veterans)/Camp SP-13 Red Rocks -- August 2019
Plans are in the works for a very exciting living history presentation later this year at one of the most iconic CCC sites: the world-famous Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO near Denver.
Though the music venue itself is known nationally and internationally, few are aware that the CCC camp which housed Company 1860, the builders of the venue, also survives in remarkably intact condition. Denver Parks has begun a program to rehabilitate the camp structures and open some of them to the public: https://denverite.com/2018/04/30/red-rocks-camp-rebuild/.
Denver Parks rangers are working with Mr. Mark Headlee to plan a reenactment of life in Veteran's Company 1860 at Red Rocks, with a tentative date in August 2019. This promises to be one of the most exciting CCC living history events of the year.
Details will be provided here as plans mature.
